"I really wanted to try the horse meat meatballs since all “Catanesi” recommend them, and they’ll tell you to visit the area near the Ursino Castel for the best places. I got lucky to find this nice, clean restaurant nearby and I read good reviews online so I entered. They had a few horse meat dishes but I ordered this mixed platter which gave me a good sampling. Definitely got more than expected. I had the mixed platter #2 (horse meat). It was a large plate with a grilled thin steak (like a giant cutlet or thick slice of roast beef), a large, horse meatball , grilled sausage and cipollata (bacon-wrapped green onion) The food was all good and they brought over a basket of bread and the tray with seasoning condiments (salt, pepper, olive oil, hot pepper oil, balsamic vinegar) which I used in different combinations for my platter of meats grilled veggies. The food was tasty even without condiments though. Well, maybe add some salt pepper... Also, I ordered a melon prosciutto antipasto (appetizer), the grilled mixed vegetable side dish (eggplant, mushrooms, zucchini), and an awesome pistachio tiramisu for dessert. All the dishes were very reasonably priced. As there was no breeze on this hot day, I decided to dine inside and the manager turned the A/C on for me. The restaurant is a stones throw from Ursino Castel and a five minute walk from S. Agata's Cathedral Square. Highly recommended!"

One very dynamic lady did the service inside and out. Menu super local. Fish market just around the corner.

Delicious food, friendly staff, moderate price! We stayed 7 days in Scily, this restaurant offers one of the most delicious seafood. I recombinant fish scouté and risoto with seafood!

After a really long walk looking for somewhere to eat we decided to go to the city center, near to which this place is located. The pasta we ordered was amazing and generously portioned. Nonetheless, I would not take any antipasti since it will probably be too much food.

We found this restaurant on a day trip into Catania. The waitress was warm and welcoming. Although we were the only people in there, for an early lunch, we felt relaxed, and enjoyed quick service, with generously proportioned and tasty meals, in a pleasant environment. Pizzas, pastas and salads were all good.

We came in around 20 when it was relatively quiet. But soon it started to be pretty full. 20:30 and after it was packed. We started by asking about the local wine and had our eye on one but asked advise and got reccomend another. Excellent choice. (see picture) a local dry white wine with a decent amount of acid which was exactly our taste. Together with the wine, to start, we took basic bruschettas and deep fried mozzarella. Basic flavors but so tasty. The food is cheap but back to basics when it's come to taste. Just how I think it should be. A great pesto.. (I would personally serve a pesto or tomato sauce with the mozzarella balls) Our pizza came a bit too fast but was great and HUGE. We...
